okay. Scientists from around the world have begun testing their experimental cove in 19 vaccines in people. Historically, it's taken years to do human clinical trials and get vaccines approved for polio in the 19 fifties, it took about three years. It took about that long for the rubella vaccine in the 19 sixties, and it took two years for months. But no one wants to wait years for a vaccine for the novel Corona virus. I hope we're gonna have a vaccine, and we're going to fast track it like you've never seen before. And there are reasons to be hopeful. Researchers Air moving with Lightning Speed with more than a $1,000,000,000 in projected investments already pouring into the effort, and the U. S Food and Drug Administration, which will need to approve, the vaccine has been moving faster since the pandemic began and the effort is quickly growing. As of April 26th 89 teams internationally were working on vaccines, according to the World Health Organization. Four days later, the W H O listed AH 102 teams working on vaccines. That's 13 more teams in just four days. Seven are already in human trials of those 73 year led by teams in the U. S. One is headed by the National Institutes of Health outside Washington, D. C. Another by a No VO, a biotech company with research and development in San Diego. Ah, third by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, headquartered in New York City. Another is in England at the University of Oxford Tour in China. One in Beijing in one In Wuhan, where the pandemic began, human trials began a month and 1/2 ago with the M I H. First on March 16 500 Oxford of the most recent, they started human trials April 23rd. Who finishes first is anybody's guess. Thursday and CNN's Corona Virus Town Halls, Dr Anthony Fauci said getting a vaccine on the market by January could happen. Vaccine trials are notoriously unpredictable. What might happen is that people months from now we'll say, Well, you said we're gonna have a vaccine in January I didn't say that. I said, We're gonna shoot to be ableto have one. If we're successful in each and every one of these places, it might turn out that a promising vaccine doesn't work. Believe me, there's nobody in the world. No matter what they say from what country that's going to guarantee you that they're gonna have a safe and effective vaccine at any given time frame. They may be cautiously optimistic about it, but nobody is going to guarantee that or worse, that it causes harm. There are a number of situations there that could go wrong, like it may all of a sudden have a safety signal ups. We have a problem. Ouchy suggested that to save time, the U. S could manufacture some vaccines even before they have full results of clinical trials financially risky. But, he said, a risk that's worth it, given what's at stake.

President Trump believes there will be a coronavirus vaccine by year's end

President Donald Trump says he believes a vaccine for COVID-19 will be available by the end of the year.Trump also says the U.S. government is putting its “full power and might” behind remdesivir, a drug that has shown early promise as a treatment for the disease caused by the new coronavirus.Trump commented Sunday night during a virtual town hall sponsored by Fox News Channel. Trump responded to a Nebraska man who recovered from COVID-19 by saying: “We think we are going to have a vaccine by the end of this year.”He also said his administration was pushing hard for remdesivir. U.S. public health officials have said a vaccine is probably a year to 18 months away. But Dr. Anthony Fauci said in late April that it's conceivable, if a vaccine is developed soon, it could be in wide distribution as soon as January.
